This personal storytelling summit from Open Secrets Magazine features over 2 dozen essayists, memoir authors, storytellers, and editors discussing what it means to share your “secrets” with the world via writing. Learn how writers grapple with disclosing personal stories about relationships, family, identity, LGBTQIA life, mental health, and work and career. Keynote speaker Jane Pratt, editor of Another Jane Pratt Thing, and formerly editor of Sassy, Jane, and xoJane, will discuss with Open Secrets Magazine editor Rachel Kramer Bussel “Why Readers Care About What Happened to You,” on the enduring popularity of first person writing and how she approaches editing personal essays. Our closing keynote speakers, The Heartbreak Years author Minda Honey, and The Secret Lives of Church Ladies and Reckon True Stories podcast cohost Deesha Philyaw, will discuss “Relinquishing Your Secret Desires to the Page.”
Sponsored by Narratively and Libro.fm and Jenny Magazine. and The Queer Love Project.
